Together we can make a difference.
Care for Africa unites & works with the communities to fight against poverty and empower independence by providing water, health, education and enterprise.
Water is life.
Care for Africa provides access to clean drinking water through the installation of deep-water wells and water harvesting into schools and major collection points. Once a deep water well is established in a school. We see school attendances increase by 65% to 90%. This in turn gives the girls an opportunity for education as girls are primarily the water collectors for families. A society is significantly restricted with development if there is no or limited educational opportunities.
We recognise that menstruation, is a significant barrier to girls completing school & ultimately to ensuring gender equality in education
Care for Girls
We recognise that menstruation, is a significant barrier to girls completing school & ultimately to ensuring gender equality in education.
The deep-water bores that we install in the school grounds enables girls, who would otherwise spend their days collecting water, to go to school to obtain an education.
The Installation of proper sanitation toilet blocks with water, private room and soap allow the girls to change & wash their sanitary products.
Girls miss up to 20% of their schooling due to not having sanitary products.
We have educated and set up our Women’s Centres to make a washable sanitary product for the girls.
Our Sponsor Children
Care for Africa sponsors the most vulnerable children in Tarime. The children living in these remote and disadvantaged villages quite often do not get the chance to attend school or receive medical treatment.
As the sponsor of a child, the child is given the opportunity to attend boarding school where they are educated in a safe, nurturing environment. Sponsorship can also provide medical treatment and surgery for those children with correctable disabilities.
